Hi,

As for previous patches, I have included (minor) comments below.

Is there a reason not to inline this function definition as well?  It
seems as trivial as get_frame_id and get_frame.

If I understand correctly, m_frame_id and m_frame are mutually
exclusive.  To be on the safe side, I would be tempted to add a check
here:

	gdb_assert (m_frame == nullptr);

I guess nullptr is prefered over NULL (across the patch).

One of 'contains' and 'describes' might be too much here I guess.
